Abstract: Pakistanis leaving for foreign destinations is commonplace. Every talented educated person dreams of an overseas assignment. Our officials too are always on the lookout for Pakistanis with overseas experience. This has been the norm since our early days. Although international statistics on immigrants suggests that as a percentage of the population, immigration from Pakistan has declined from a high of almost 6 percent of the total population in the 1960s to around 2 percent by 2015.
